	Newshound: Daily Northern Ireland news catalog - Irish News article
		Against the background of the Irish war of independence and the civil war, the traditional armistice day commemorations became unsustainable and even the memorials fell into a state of neglect.
		For the soldiers themselves – many of whom returned to disillusion about the policy of the British government for which they had volunteered – the experience of returning to a place where their sacrifice could not be recognised must have been doubly disillusioning.
		The revival of interest in remembering the Irish dead of the First World War during the 1980s and '90s was itself a sign of healing and of the dramatic change in relations between Ireland and Britain.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of Lessons of the War, by Spenser Wilkinson
		Yet the British purpose of the war is to establish the British power in South Africa on a firm basis: the only way to prepare that basis being to crush the military power of the two Republics.
		Through the mists which always shroud a war during its progress the fact is beginning to be visible that the British generals have been from the beginning paralysed not, as anxious observers are always prone to conclude, by any want of knowledge or energy, but by the nature of the implement in their hands.
		The fifth division, the bulk of which was directed to Natal, has been added to Sir Redvers Buller's force, without having enabled him as yet to strike the decisive blow or even to prevent a determined assault upon Ladysmith by the Boer army.

	[No title]
		The British force at first is divided upon a front of forty miles, each of its halves looking away from the other, so that there is little attention to the weak point of such a front, the communication between its parts.
		I thought from the beginning that the division of Sir George White's force was strategically unsound, and the position of Ladysmith a bad one because it lent itself to investment.
		The British Nation is at length opening its eyes to the truth that war is a serious matter, and that the neglect of it in peace is costly in blood and perilous to the body politic.

		It reflects attempts by Peter Mulvaney to have the Irish Government consider the fate of their sons who were callously executed.

		The men were of peculiarly fine quality, many of them from the public schools and from the universities, and if any would fight to the death these with their sporting spirit and their high sense of honour might have been expected to do so.
		It was evident now to the British commanders that there would be no peace and no safety for their communications while an undefeated army of seven or eight thousand men, under such leaders as De Wet and Olivier, was lurking amid the hills which flanked their railroad.
		These were the divisions of Rundle and of Brabant from the south, the brigade of Clements on their extreme left, the garrison of Lindley under Paget, the garrison of Heilbron under Macdonald, and, most formidable of all, a detachment under Hunter which was moving from the north.

		Though a strong nationalist, he enlisted in Dunsany’s regiment, the 10th (Irish) Division, Inniskilling Fusiliers in October 1914 - to serve in France and Flanders during World War One.
		Despite his initial reluctance to enlist he nevertheless argued that his service with the British during World War One was in no way incompatible with his nationalist views: rather, he believed he was furthering the cause of Irish independence from Britain.
		Dunsany quoted Ledwidge: "I joined the British Army because she stood between Ireland and an enemy of civilisation and I would not have her say that she defended us while we did nothing but pass resolutions".
